NEWS AND VIEWS FROM ANDREWS. u BLIND BEASTS RAIDED?POINTS FpU LEGISLATORS-RECORD BREAKING RAINFALL. Andrews. July 4:?A whiskey detective by the name of Mr Thomp^ son has made a general raid on the Oj i blind timers at both ends of this little town and we are reliably informed that several ''tigers'* slept in Georgetown jail Saturday night, while some that were not arrested slept in the woods in the suburbe of town and others are out under bond for their appearance at the court of general sessions. "Be sure, my friend, your sins will find you out." This community was visited last Thursday afternoon by the heaviest rain that has ever been known to fall in this community and crops were greatly damaged. Mr Editor, we notice that our county campaign will open in KingsJr. Anarnct ? iiiet a little over W"; Hi J . _ ( 30 days hence. There will be a few more out for the House of Representatives before the time is out. We want to hear their views on the issues o. this campaign. Let us hear their views on the tax laws. We do not want another game and fish delegation. The poor old fish has more protection by law than our people and especially tax-payers. The fish and all game have been provided for, now, let's see if we can't get men in the Legislature who will enact laws to have every man to bear his equal share of taxation; also enact laws for the betterment of educational conditions and the improvement of our roads, and to have our girls taught domestic science in the schools and the boys given a thorough course in farming instruction. Let us have these two courses taught in all of the high schools and have ad schools made high schools. Mr Editor,if we ever expect to have a county of any note we must have more education?practical education for our girls as well as the toys. Better roads, equalization oftaxa-' tion, more money for education and ~&>ads?these, I think, should be the . issues of the campaign. The bream, pike and trout and whisjjey^ftestions are now things of the past. Mr T R Tompkins carr^e very near being killed here last*%rturday by a run-away mule, ^jhichythrew him down and drag^p him for some distance, he being entangled in the buggy wheels. Fortunately, however, he was not seriously hurt. There will be an excursion run on the G & W railroad from Lanes and all other points to Georgetown on account of the Fourth of July. From Andrews to Georgetown and return the fare is fifty cents. The A C Lumber Corp.'s logging camps are all shut down and our lit- j tie town was crowded all day, cool drinks being in great demand. Subscriber. AN EDITORIAL MIX-UP. pNewspaper Rivals at Mulllns Do the Jeffries-Johnson Stunt. Mullins, July 2:?J Lee Piatt, edi. tor of The Enterprise, who was re' cently defeated for mayor ofMul-j Hns, engaged in a fist fight on thel ?'-.,^treet here to-day with James Nor-! * ton, editor of The Messenger, which opposed Piatt in the recent election. Several blows were passed and Norton is said to have bled freely. After the fight Mr Piatt surrendered himself to the police and while he i was under arrest W F Norton, a son of Jan s Norton,came up and struck ! Plait several blows about the head and face. A large crowd gathered and for i some time there was a good deal of excitement. ' Mr Norton was at one time Comptroller-General of the State and afterwards in Coneress.and later served a term in the House of Representatives. Mr Piatt is a former Columbian,living there till a few years ago, I when he moved to Mullins. By helping us you help yourself. Buy from the houses who advertise in The Record and mention the paper. RECIPROCAL OBLIGATIONS. How Your Local Paper Helps Yon and How Yon Can Help It. We believe every farmer should take at least one of his local or county papers. If he does not,he can scarce ly expect to keep up with the happenings of his own neighborhood and the doings of his own acquaintances, and while we would not have any reader of ours limit his interest to the things that are going on immediately around him,he is certainly not a well informed man if he is ignorant of these things. This, then, is one reason why you should subscribe for,and pay for,and possibly write for and advertise in your local paper. Another reason is that a good paper in any town or county is a positive force in the upbuiiding of that town or county. A good paper is one of the surest indj cations of, and the best advertisements for, a progressive community; and it is impossible for any editor to make a good paper if he does not have the support of the people for whom the paper is made. The local paper may also be a; source of direct financial benefit to! you. To say nothing of what its ad-: vertising columns may be woith to; you, either as buyer or seller, cases1 are always arising when it is a positive saving of time or money to know just what is being done by one's neighbors, or one's county of ficials, or the business men with i whom one has to deal. Next to a ! telephone, a really live local newspaper will do more than anything else in keeping you in touch with your local market. For these reasons, and many oth-1 ers that might be given, the local editor has a right to expect your pa- j tronage and your co-operation. In return Jthere are some things that you have a right to expect of him. In the first place.you have a right to demand that he keep his paper clean?that he make it fit reading matter for your family. If morej space is devoted to scandals and murders and sensational fake stories than to the really important happen- j ings of the day, you not only have a! right, but it is your duty,to protest, j These things are not news, though I many editors seem to think they are,' and others publish them because! they think that people want to read about them. You should give the more hearty ^ annnnrt tn unnr rnnntv nnnor if its JUp^Vl V WW J V/W?? VV - -> w~ advertising columns are clean?if it refuses to carry whisky, patent medicine and fraudulent investment advertising. No farmer should subscribe for any paper of general circulation that carries such advertising. and he has a right to insist that his county paper shall not only refuse the more vicious of such advertising but completely purge itself of all such as rapidly as its support will admit. Then you have a right to demand that your editor tell the news as it is. He has a perfect right to present his views with all the force he has' in his editorial columns, but when he presents anything as news he must have it just as accurate?just as free from personal or partisan views?as possible. The editor who permits his personal or political feelings to color his news columns is guilty of an actual immorality. A third right you have is to de mand that your local paper give the i most of its attention to local hap-1 penings and local problems. It is ! the special business of ''Rural County News" to tell what is happening in Rural county and to aid in this1 county's development and progress.! Its views on the tariff or the Congo slave question may be interesting and valuable, but it can probably I do more good by giving this space | to helping have the back alleys of; Ruralville kept clean, or by interesting the farmers of Rural county in the institute that will be held for j their benefit this summer. Insist, then, that your paper deal with the things of your community, ' that it give the local news and help j solve local problems. j Here again your help may be required, and you should feel it your rlnti- trk vnnr nanpr know nf anv UUVJ vv 4V-V J vr v.- " ? ^ | local event of interest that comes under your notice, or to use it as a i means of calling: attention to any movement that will make for the betterment of community life. A good local paper is one of the best assets a small town or fanning community can have. In its work of education and entertainment it does good to every one in its territory. To be a good paper it must be, as we have said, clean, accurate, wideawake and in touch with the life of the community. It is your duty to help make it so; first, by giving it financial and moral support, and second,by insisting that it have high ideals and live up to them.?The Progressive Fanner.
